Derek Minor - It Is What It Is (Official Video) 

This was too real. I like how the Christian artist are being real in their music and not sugar-coating the truth or the struggle

A rapper who loves God and raps about the truth and reality is blessed. 💪🏽

Finally a trap song with actual lyrical content! Not just drugs,strippers and materialism. Thank you!

It's 2023. This song still relevant and one of the realest songs ever produced.

The truth in these lyrics might offend some of our European-American brothers and sisters, but we don’t need your fragility, we need your alliship 💯

So underrated... keep it up Derek.. this is fire.. always Give glory to God!

I haven't heard nothing this hard since I left the trap. But now I'm headed to seminary school to preach the gospel. I'm not leaving yal behind. I'll never forget the block.

And they tell me you can’t be woke AND be a Christian ✊🏽 The real ness of this video is EVERYTHING 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 #FACTS

Wow. I had chills throughout this entire song. Best song, hands down, about the generational poverty in this country. Thank you, Derek Minor, for speaking this truth. God bless you!

GOD is faithful forever GOD wants you to cross over to HIM so you can turn around and look at wheat he delivered you from. Then you will know what to look for that trapped you the first time!

Finally! A rapper who loves Jesus and tells it like it is! Jesus and Woke! 🙏🏼✊🏼

It eees what it esss

Praying for my adopted son today. Keep going for Jesus. He is with you and loves you so! God bless you.

A little shock of reality. Somebody has to sing it. Thank you , D. Minor! These are the chronicles of a generation. We hope to do more and change this reality for better.

Wow. This song is so deep...I don't even think people get it. It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

This did hip hop some justice. -Powerful and thought provoking content -Authentic and real -Flow and delivery complimented the beat and was clear and to the point Fire trap beat With the right marketing. This song could have revolutionized trap.

Derek talks a lot about real life! Finally someone standing up!

This is too good for a compliment.... the world aint ready... America aint ready for this level of greatness

3 years and we are still here... It is what it is. Beast mode was activated for this song and the entire album

It's good to know your music still glorifies God. Been listening to you since you was Pro. Good message on this song bro, continue the grind

Most underrated artist

"Red dot on your white tee, it look like Japan" 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Its never too late for anyone. It's about catching it at the right time before they die. Other than that it's never too late, never too hard, nothing God cant get you out of. You just have to believe and let your worries go and trust him 100%

Repent from your sins because Jesus Christ Christ and God love you repent before it’s too late AMEN spread the word read your Bible and love God and Jesus Christ

Fact after fact. Never gets old.

Derek for LIFE🚼👍

I love this song

Best album talking about the struggle.

Nice beat, sick flow, good message=🔥🔥

On repeatttttttt

I like the sound of the song for sure and I am a Derek Minor fan, but I'd have to agree with a few people as far as the content. I understand he may have wanted to share what the struggle is like and Yes there is truth in it, and I agree society can be cold, but where's the Hope? It's almost like an excuse to do wrong to survive, "it is, what it is". We will all still be held accountable regardless of our circumstances. We can do all things through Christ and that includes seeking out a better way. I do pray for our society and the poor and the ppl being killed 😔

WOW!!!! This shouldn't be contained to the Christian genre, this is real life music.

Yea! For God Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ!

God bless Derek minor

It iiiiis what it iiiiis

The music bumps, his rhymes are amazing, but the message...the message almost made me cry and in not even playin. Our world is so cold.

“Talk less, and do more.” What do I need to do ?

southern music has opened up alot of ways Christian artists can express themselves. Love this reality message.

1:00 - 1:06 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m putting that on a shirt!!!!!

Wow that is so sad but true we got to learn to forgive one another and love one another as we all continue to work out our own salvation between Christ and us he is our refuge and a present time in need and his blood is for everyone for there is no condemnation of those in Christ Jesus for old things have passed and all things become new through Christ that strengthens us and that is only through the blood of Jesus Christ.

This is the definition of rap music! i still have this song on replay for the past two days and counting. 🔥🔥🔥

More than 2 years ago and these words are just as relevant smh!

It issss what it issssssss

For all the people judging this music dont you realize this song is not written for you, its written for the UNSAVED, if you cant see that you must have been born on the MOUNTAIN TOP

This was too real, lots of punchlines. "We ain't put those clincs In our own hoods so somebody making a fortune" 😲😱😵

I can relate it's like my childhood in the hood real life

hopefully this EP he returns to the Pro-era street rap that he excelled at so much. this song was fiiiiire

"If life is the school of hard knocks, the street'll teach you like academy" 😮🔥

I listened to this 5 times straight

Who here before dis blows up

This track still drops heat.

True rapper

Omg He is so savage and achristian and has ridiculously amazing music

😢 it is what it is

Entertaining but if I was never introduced to Christ...that wouldn't change after hearing this

How does this only have 900 thousand views?…… and 9 thousand likes underrated song…

Great song. That last verse Hits hard in America

Minorrrrrr!!!! Addicted to this song bruh!!! Thank you! Praise God!!!

So much truth in the his lyrics! God blessed him with a good soul and talent!

If “Walls” didn’t exist, this would easily be his best song otherwise

should have 10 billion views but I understand why it doesn't. It is what it is.

You think that we choose our environment? Wish I could choose that entitlement. Instead of being born in poverty. With hungry hyenas surrounding me. GRRRRRRR....... that growl 🔥

Derek minor is 🔥 gangster for Jesus.

Truth!

we gotta live it is what it is....

It is what it is

Just found this album and I haven't binged something this hard in a long time. The lyrics the music. All 100% thank you

Why am I just hearing you 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🕊LET THERE BE LIGHT 🤙🏾💡💡💡🌱

Praise the Lord I remember seeing you and meeting you at magic springs you are awesome

The devil lurks and GOD keeps delivering. Who do you think will save you in the time to come ?

All praise to the most high tha brotha bringing out the truth

Brush real talk man. thats how it is man. i had to go back to were i came from and man real talk. i see everything he speaking on. this one hit home

issa vibe..

This song is hard

Need this on the radio!! They might be scared to play it??!!??

IT IS WHAT IT IS

This was my first song I heard from him and it's still the best plus it talks about real stuff.

"Bet you God hears the prayers of millions of mothers, and they all sound the same, even tho their sons in different Gangs"...deep

God is good. Keep feeding us positive and God music. Much appreciated.

wow this is heat... truth in punchline

Definitely in my top 5 rated Christian rappers. This is the first Derek minor song I heard. Give Jesus praise.

I was and is still on fire for god. I remember listening to this on the city bus working two jobs. Picking up 3 kids from school on a city bus. I love them. And I love you Jesus.

look alive vibes
